The Gate That Stands Open

Have you ever noticed how the doors of life seem to close more often than they open? In a world full of locked gates and closed doors and walls that appear without warning, one ancient invitation runs through every closed entrance. It is short, and it is plain, and it has been waiting for you to hear it. "I am the gate," Jesus says, in John chapter ten. He is not describing a door you have to earn. He is describing a door that cannot close. This is a five-minute Word Burst devotional on the open door that never closes — the door that is Christ Himself — and on the welcome that does not require you to first become someone worth welcoming.

Word Burst is a daily devotional series on Jesus 24/7. Each episode is a short contemplative reflection on the words of Jesus — spoken slowly, read plainly, framed for the quiet moment between what you have been carrying and what comes next. Today: the gate that stands open.
